Gianforte’s Lying on Guns

September 24, 2018

CLAIM:

Kathleen Williams will take guns away from law-abiding citizens

FACT:

Kathleen is a gun owner, hunter, and defender of the Second Amendment

“Kathleen Williams has never said she’d take away people’s right to defend themselves. She’s a hunter herself, long-time hunter. (…) she’s never said she would take away people’s right to hunt (…) [it’s] certainly not true that Williams wants to take people’s gun rights away.”

That’s Montana Public Radio commenting on Congressman Gianforte’s latest ad, a smear attack straight out of the DC playbook.

Independent analysts say they “don’t think that some of the facts are quite right.”

Here’s the truth:

Kathleen’s a proud gun owner and sportswoman. She supports the Second Amendment. And she has the support of Montana sportsmen including the Montana Sportsmen Alliance.

We need to keep our children safe from gun massacres. Children deserve to feel safe at school and parents deserve to know their children will be safe at school.

Congress has shown no leadership on this important issue, whether on mental health or taking on common-sense reforms. Gianforte is content to collect gun lobby cash while Congress does nothing to protect our children.

Congressman Gianforte continues to make this election about fear, insinuating that Kathleen will take away guns that we all use for self defense and hunting.

The bottom line? Kathleen Williams won’t take away anyone’s guns. She has her own.
